Why are we so unique? We are a nationally recognized Academic Medical Center in the middle of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We understand that “quality of life” means different things to different people, but we are confident you will love it here as we have beautiful, rural and suburban housing options, world-class primary, secondary and graduate schools, hundreds of lakes, thousands of miles of hiking trails and some of the best skiing in the country. This means you can be a happy nurse with more quality time with friends, family, pets, or maybe just quiet hikes by yourself. Our idea of traffic is a line at the chair lift on the ski mountain.
